On our trip in 2014 We visited Mr. Kiyoshi Kato Licensed sword smith and knife maker in Hokuto City, JapanMr. Kato still make his knives in traditional way forging in charcoal and quenching with water He also using Sen for his swords as well as his Knives In the video you will see Short demonstration of making our Yoshiaki Fujiwara - The Workhorse Gyutos We do not show all process ! Using this old tools to make knives is very labor intensive job! And Kato usually produce ONLY 1 regular knife in 2 days
